RealFootball365.com: Cal Ranked 8th, USC Ranked 10th

Read the entire article here.

8. CALIFORNIA -
This season offers a window of opportunity for somebody to finish ahead of Southern Cal in the Pac 10 -- a small window, to be sure, but it's there. And the California Golden Bears, beloved of thousands of "Tedheads" (for coach Jeff Tedford) could be just the guys to do it. If the quarterback position can get sorted out (neither Nate Longshore or Joe Ayoub, while talented, have been able to put a lock on first string), RB Marshawn Lynch is perhaps the No. 3 Heisman possibility and WR DeSean Jackson is electric. It is the defense, however, that really looks bearish -- DT Brandon Mebane, DE Nu'u Tafisi, LB Desmond Bishop and CBs Daymeoin Hughes and Tim Mixon provide a senior corps quite capable of shutting down USC's young offense. The opener at Tennessee will be a challenge, but a necessary one.
